Popis: We report case 10 of a gonadal stromal tumor of the testis in a neonate. This tumor may occur in the testis or ovary, and is defined as a tumor of any of the specialized supporting structures of the male or female gonad. All neonatal tumors reported to date have been benign. The serum alpha-fetoprotein level, although elevated for adults, was within the normal range for an infant.
